Samsung Galaxy A22 / F42 5G Disassembly Teardown Repair Video Review By PBKreviews

This is the Samsung Galaxy a22 5g disassembly? If you need any tools, there are links in the description. First, there are some trainees to be removed. Once the sim tray is removed, we need to apply some heat to the backplate using a hair, dryer or a heat gun. So we can loosen up the adhesive underneath, and then we're going to use a plastic pry tool to pry the backplate off. Here's a better look at the plastic backplate. There are 16 Phillips screws which need to be removed once the screws have been removed.

We can lift and remove the cover for the cameras. Now we can put our plastic pry tool in between the back housing and the frame of the screen and run it along the edges and pop the catches off now, once the back housing is loose from the frame of the screen, don't lift it up or remove it. Yet, since the cable for the fingerprint reader is still attached to the main board, and we need to disconnect that first we're going to lift it up and move it slightly up, so we have access to disconnecting the battery cable first, and then we can disconnect the cable for the fingerprint reader. The back housing itself is plastic. We have a layer of graphite film over here on the top portion, there's also some antenna flex cables on the top portion.

Looking at the other side, we can see another antenna flex cable over here on the bottom, there's also a rubber gasket with a mesh filter on the bottom, where the speaker opening is its time to disconnect the rest of the flex cables. There are also two wire cables located over here in the corner, I'll just pop those off there's a small copper tape over here covering the connector for the front facing camera, which is also laying on top of this camera cable over here, which we have to peel off once that's peeled off. We can disconnect the front facing camera and remove it. At this point, we have one more Phillips screw located over here, which has to be removed, so we can lift and remove the main board on this side of the main board. The LED flash is located over here, and you have a secondary microphone located over here.

There's also copper tape over here on top of the shields. On the other side, the sim reader and memory card reader is located over here. The proximity sensor is located over here on the top and there's more copper tape on top of the shields over here, the camera connectors can be disconnected by just popping them off peeling back. The copper tape reveals thermal paste on top of the processor ram and trips over here there are three more Phillips screws on the bottom located here and over here, which need to be removed. Now I can lift and remove the speaker assembly.

Here's a better look at the speaker assembly, there's another mesh filter over here over the opening and here's the speaker itself. Now we're going to disconnect this flex cable over here, which connects the main board to the sub board. There are two wire cables over here which we need to disconnect and pop off. Once those are disconnected, we can lift and remove the sub board. The charger port is located over here with a rubber gasket around it and here's the headphone jack, which also has rubber gasket around it.

The primary microphone is located over here underneath the shield. Here's a look at the other side when it comes to removing the battery. There are no pull tabs to help you pry the battery off, so you're, either going to need to use a hair dryer to apply heat to the front of the phone where the screen is, so you can loosen up the adhesive underneath the battery, making it easier to pry it off, or you're. Going to have to use some isopropyl alcohol and apply some to the size of the battery and let it sit there for about a minute, so it eats away at the adhesive underneath the battery making it easier to pry the battery off. Here's a better look at the battery, so even though it looks like there's a lot of adhesive underneath the battery, it wasn't too difficult to pry it off.

It's quite easy compared to most of the other phones. Moving on this flex, cable over here is for the screen. So, if you ever had to replace the screen, you would have to take the backplate off, remove the screws on the back housing as well as remove the back housing itself, and then you disconnect the battery cable and the screen cable, as well as remove the speaker assembly on the bottom, and then you have to heat up the front of the phone where the screen is to loosen up the adhesive underneath, and then you would pry your old screen off get your new screen apply new adhesive reapply, the new screen making sure you run the cable back to the opening over here in the mid-frame, and then you just reassemble your phone. Now your vibrator motor is located over here on the bottom, the flex cable for the volume keys and the power button is located over here and one thing I want to mention the actual physical clicker for the power button buttons located over here. So when you're, pressing down on the fingerprint reader over here, it clicks down on the clicker over here on this flex, cable, so the fingerprint reader itself and the power button.

The clicker is two separate pieces. If the flex cable over here for the fingerprint reader were to be damaged, or you were too disconnected and didn't want to use your fingerprint reader, the power button, the clicker would still work to function, to power the phone on and to turn your screen on and off. And finally, the earpiece speaker is located over here on top, which is held on with some adhesive. So if you wanted to replace that just heat it up a little and pry it off for the repairability score on this phone, I give it an 8.5 out of 10. , it's not too difficult to take apart.

The adhesive underneath the battery. Isn't that strong? So it doesn't really make it that difficult prying the battery off now I'm going to put the phone back together once all your screws are back in place, apply new adhesive and reapply your backplate flip over the phone power it on, and you're done.
